Eagles QB Jalen Hurts will miss the rest of the season after doctors discovered blood clots in his lungs on Saturday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Hurts will go on blood thinners and is expected to be sidelined for 3 months. He's expected to make a full recovery.

Welp, apparently the Eagles quickly went from not even discussing IR for QB Jalen Hurts to deciding that was the way to go. Placing the QB on IR means he'll miss at least the next four games, while the most commonly discussed timeline for his return from a blood clot has been at least six weeks. The exact length, of course, will depend on how his body reacts to the treatment.

ESPN reports that the Eagles have "not even discussed the possibility of injured reserve" for QB Jalen Hurts as he deals with a superficial blood clot.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts will miss Sunday's game against the Panthers because of a blood clot in his calf. The injury originated in the Week 4 loss to the Rams, and the team says the blood clot was found via ultrasound ahead of last Sunday's game in London.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts overcame the losses of multiple linemen and WR DeVonta Smith to log his second-largest passing-yardage total of the season in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. That only took 220 yards, though, on 21-of-40 passing. That's a 52.5% completion rate and 5.5 yards per pass attempt. Hurts threw a TD to WR Darius Cooper and avoided turnovers. He did fumble twice, but the team didn't lose either of them.

The first four weeks went about as poorly as they could have for the Philadelphia offense. And then things got worse. First came RT Lane Johnson announcing his retirement after missing the loss to the Rams for personal reasons. Then ESPN's Adam Schefter reported today that the Eagles are trading C/G Cam Jurgens to the Ravens. Baltimore's sending a 2027 fifth-rounder and a 2028 second for Jurgens plus a 2027 seventh. Jurgens is just 27 and remains signed through 2029, with sub-$10 million cap hits through 2027.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts had already been missing TE Dallas Goedert (MCL sprain) and then lost WR DeVonta Smith for Sunday's game against the Rams. That obviously set him up for difficult passing situations. But Hurts' final line in the loss still came out strange. He threw for just 93 yards on 12-of-27 passing (44.4%). That marked the lowest yardage output and worst completion rate of Hurts' career for any game he has started and finished.

ESPN's Tim McManus reports that there's "not much optimism" that Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will play vs. the Rams this weekend. Smith has missed the first 2 practices of this week. He was on the injury report with a hamstring last week but played every single offensive snap vs. the Bears. We'll look for more details on Smith's timeline for return, but he should be on benches for Week 4.

Hurts struggled in a favorable projected matchup against a Bears passing defense that gave up 361 passing yards and 3 TDs to Bryce Young the week before last. He completed just 16 of 25 passes for 153 yards and an INT. Hurts salvaged the poor passing performance with 25 yards and a TD on the ground, finishing as a fringe QB2 in Week 3.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts helped keep Sunday's game at Tennessee closer than it probably should have been. He tossed a pair of INTs en route to 264 yards passing and 2 TDs. The QB added just 16 rushing yards on 5 carries. The issue seems to be blocking -- and perhaps offensive design -- more than Hurts, though. NFL Next Gen Stats credited him with a 6.1% completion rate over expected, while Hurts' 18 completions on throws that took longer than 2.5 seconds to develop marked a career high, according to Devin Jackson of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Eagles OC Sean Mannion said the tush push will remain part of the team's offense this year. In addition to making a change at OC this offseason, the Eagles also lost offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, who was a big proponent of the tush push. But it sounds like QB Jalen Hurts will still be a key figure in the team's short-yardage and goal-line plans.

The Eagles are finally sending WR A.J. Brown to the Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder, according to multiple reports. The deal is pending a Brown physical, of course, but has been expected for months now. ESPN reports that waiting until June 1 allowed the Eagles to split Brown’s $40 million cap hit between this year and next. (NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo calls it $43 million, with $27 million of that on the team’s 2027 cap.)

TE Dallas Goedert has agreed to a one-year extension with the Eagles. That keeps him around through 2026 rather than allowing the veteran to hit the open market. The two sides seemed to be working toward this end, with both agreeing twice to delay a contract clause that would have forced an earlier decision to avoid a $20 million cap hit for the coming season.

The Eagles have selected Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator, according to multiple reports. The former NFL QB has spent just two years as a coach, both on Green Bay's staff. He operated as the QBs coach last season after opening as an offensive assistant.

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni announced Tuesday that he'll be replacing OC Kevin Patullo. The deposed coordinator filled that role for the first time in his career (at any level) this season. He had worked under Sirianni since the two joined Frank Reich's staff with the Colts in 2018. That includes spending the past five years with Sirianni in Philadelphia, four as pass-game coordinator before taking over for Kellen Moore in 2025.

NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that the Eagles confirmed Wednesday they'll "rest several key starters" in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Commanders. It's not yet clear, though, exactly who that plan affects and how.
